MMA DINARE

Mma Dinare

Set on the edge of the Gomoti River floodplains within a vast private concession bordering the southeastern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve, Mma Dinare (meaning “Mother of Buffalo”) offers an immersive safari experience in one of Botswana’s most wildlife-rich landscapes. With sweeping views of seasonal wetlands and open savannahs, this stylish tented camp is designed to bring guests as close as possible to the rhythms of the bush, while still offering comfort, charm, and exceptional guiding.

Ideal for wildlife lovers and adventurers alike, Mma Dinare delivers the magic of the Okavango Delta with a perfect blend of game-rich drives, striking scenery, and laid-back luxury.

Accommodations

Mma Dinare features eight spacious en-suite safari tents, including one family unit, all elevated on wooden decks to capture the breeze and provide uninterrupted views across the floodplain. Each tent is elegantly appointed with twin or double beds, indoor and outdoor showers, flush toilets, and solar-powered lighting. Warm wood tones, locally crafted furnishings, and canvas walls create a natural, calming aesthetic that fits seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

The central lounge, bar, and dining area are open-sided and welcoming, designed around a large fire deck that offers panoramic views and prime wildlife watching throughout the day. A plunge pool provides a refreshing break from the midday heat, and evening meals are often enjoyed under the stars.

Activities

As part of a private 67,000-acre concession, Mma Dinare offers a diverse range of activities, with the flexibility and exclusivity that come from being outside national park regulations:

• Day & Night Game Drives: Game drives explore riverine woodlands, floodplains, and savannahs teeming with wildlife. This area is particularly known for its large herds of elephant and buffalo, often followed by predators such as lion, leopard, and wild dog. Night drives provide the rare opportunity to encounter nocturnal species under the cover of darkness.

• Seasonal Mokoro Excursions: When water levels permit, traditional mokoro (dugout canoe) trips are available, gliding silently through the floodplains for a serene and intimate look at aquatic life, bird species, and the Delta’s lush vegetation.

• Walking Safaris: Guided bush walks offer a deeper understanding of the Delta’s ecology, from tracking game and reading animal signs to learning about plants, insects, and birdlife.

• Birding: With its varied habitats and wetland edge location, Mma Dinare is a birder’s haven, particularly during the green season when migratory species abound.

Additional Amenities

Mma Dinare is built around sustainable principles and designed for a soft footprint on the land:

• Eco-Friendly Operations: The camp runs entirely on solar power and uses environmentally conscious systems for water and waste management.

• Community-Driven Staff: Many staff members come from nearby villages, and their warm, knowledgeable hospitality is a key part of the camp’s character.

• Exclusive Safari Experience: With only one other camp in the Dinare concession, guests benefit from minimal vehicle traffic, maximum flexibility, and private sightings.

• Relaxed, Sophisticated Atmosphere: Whether watching elephants at sunset from the deck or sharing stories around the fire, the camp creates a space where comfort meets connection.

Offering strong wildlife sightings, a beautiful floodplain setting, and the freedom of private land, Mma Dinare is an excellent choice for travelers looking for an authentic and rewarding Okavango Delta safari—where the wild is close, the experience is personal, and the memories are lasting.
